  1. Try re-reading the thread from the beginning. And I'm not defending Phelps, I am defending the right to free speech. Who is to decide what the next "sensitive, hurtful to families" issue will be ? It is a slippery slope that should not be tread upon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  2. i've also heard this and i disagree with the new laws for a couple reasons: 1)on the surface they seem to limit free speech and, although i'm no lawyer, seem Unconsititutional. 2)the new laws would give Phelps a new platform to sue, getting his organization more media coverage and a sense of legitimacy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  3. knock your socks off, I'm not doing your research for you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  4. As bad as I feel for the families, it is the venue Phelps has chosen to troll the media. At this point his group isn't doing anything illegal and should be allowed to "protest". His group is only showing the world how ignorant and intolerant they are. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  5. What was illegal about the 2004 election? Or are you still whining about the 200 election? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  6. Although I completely disagree with any message Fred Phelps is trying to send, he is entitled to picket, protest and spread his shitty hate-filled message. Free speech works for everyone, even those ignorant a-holes you disagree with. The ADL has some background information on Fred Phelps if you're bored at work. http://www.adl.org/special_reports/wbc/default.asp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  7. someday you'll realize that it's all the same bs, you just took it way more seriously than everyone else. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  8. you also forgot all the happy airborne cadences. i know you're being facetious, but that is exactly the point. besides, unit assignments are just that... assignments. you don't get to pick what unit you get assigned to. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  9. you have partial understanding for my point. if you append branch of service and unit to your list, you're starting to get the point. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  10. you're right, it is a completely different scenario. you're talking about giving / taking advice. i'm talking about respect. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  11. What makes a unit elite? I know your airborne brainwashing makes you say "my unit is the best"... but why is it better? I have just as much respect for the supply guy driving a deuce and a half through IED strewn roads as the 11b pulling crowd control at the latest mohammed cartoon uprising. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  12. classify me as you will, leg is about insulting as calling me a cracker. your elitist position is laughable. combined arms actions are the way of the modern battlefield. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  13. this is absurd... a Coast Guard service member deserves just as must respect and recognition as a SEAL. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  14. i fixed it for you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  15. this statement is the epitome of ignorance. doing 5 static line jumps doesn't make you a man or more manly. all U.S. service members bleed the same color and deserve the same respect regardless of unit affiliation, branch of service, race, religious affiliation or gender. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  16. No punchline here, just information: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4750320.stm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  17. shit, if no one else is going to LOL at this statement, I will. You're absolutely correct narcimund.... the US meat and poultry processors are all Hannibal Lecter clones. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  18. as ignorant and hateful as the protesters are being, they still have the right to protest. what this group is doing basically amounts to trolling the media. they are protesting at funerals where they know emotions run high and are looking for additional media coverage for their absurd message. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  19. i found the broken site, wasn't sure if it was even the correct one or not. thanks for the response ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  20. as a veteran (non-combat) and rider, i've been trying to find out more information about this group and how to help them out. i tried google but didn't find anything.... anyone know anything? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  21. religious fundamentalists always crack me up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  22. Any idea what the charge was or is denying the holocaust a crime itself? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  23. becuase it was 50 years ago........ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  24. is home invasion and uttering and publishing threee crimes or one? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
